Interview with Psychologists

We asked famous psychologist Sigmund Freud, aged 56, on what he thought of dreams and he believes that they are a formation of repressed feelings, caused by the unconscious mind, which are expressed and released during sleep. Here are some of the questions that we asked him:
Do you believe that dreams have some sort of meaning?
No. I believe that we create dreams from suppressed thoughts, urges and impulses but overall they have no meaning. All dreams just let us empty our unconscious thoughts so that we can have a free mind. The content of the unconscious is most likely to be of disturbing or harmful images that are repressed for a reason. This shows that dreams have no meaning, it's just the unconscious mind working when we are most vulnerable. This is why when we awake, we have no recollection of our dream state, this is because the superego is working to repress these images from the conscious mind (ego).
Are there any other explanations you think proves dreams have no meaning?
Yes I do. I believe that there are so many repressed thoughts, feelings and urges that we have different ways of expressing them in the dream state. For example, when an individual is sleeping, if they propel their own wants and desires onto someone else in their dream then they are projecting, which means that they do not want to have these desires and wish it to be upon someone else. Another example, is when a dreamer hides their thoughts and urges by underplaying it into a brief dream image or event. Showing that the meaning of dream imagery is not apparent or oblivious.
Another psychologist that we asked was Calvin.S.Hall, aged 38, here are some of the questions that we asked:
Do you believe that dreams have meaning?
Not at all. I believe and argue…...

...INTERVIEW
Interview is a conversation led, which involved at least two people, the interviewer and the respondent. This is not a conversation, but the conversation through which the investigator wants to obtain from the respondent data set to study. Therefore, sociologists rightly point to the fact that it is a specific method of testing, which is assumed to work closely with each investigator and the respondent. The interview is a process in which the investigator is trying to influence the study posed questions and get him to give a speech on the subject of research. It is one of the methods, which allows parallel use of another-namely observation. TYPES OF INTERVIEW: Due to the form of expression of the respondents and the way the interview, and also because of the behavior of the investigator and the number of participants, which are used in the social sciences. We can therefore distinguish the following interviews: oral and written, categorized and Uncategorized, overt and covert, individual and collective, and panels. WRITTEN AND ORAL INTERVIEW: In addition to the interviews conducted in a classical sense, ie, by speaking to the investigator of one or more speakers, there are also interviews in which questions are asked in writing (eg, survey) and the answers are given in writing, directly to the questions listed in the questionnaire, or in another manner, for example, for any given researching cards.

Different forms of violence and aggression, including drug trafficking and abuse, robbery, and rape cases among other forms of violence necessitates the need for analyzing the roles of a correctional psychologist. The special roles played by the correctional psychologists such as providing environments that improve the safety of the staff and inmates, psychological services, inmate management, and conducting an evaluation of the inmate/prison population and its influence on inmates’ health necessitated the study into the topic. In addition, the fact that the correctional psychology has numerous ethical dilemmas and conflicts makes it wanting to study the topic.

...Rome to contemporary western cultures. The list includes six character strengths: wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance and transcendence. A key point to note here is that he does not believe in a hierarchy for these six virtues: no one is more fundamental to the other. He was a strong proponent to look into well-being as well as financial wealth in ways of assessing the prosperity of a nation.
The founder of logotherapy: a form of existential analysis, Victor Frankl, through his bitter experiences at concentration camps during the Holocaust, discovered the importance of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most sordid ones and thus, a reason to continue living. A prominent source of inspiration for humanistic psychologists, Frankl came to the conclusion that even in the most absurd, painful, and dehumanized situation, life has potential meaning and therefore even suffering is meaningful. His most famous quote-“"What is to give light must endure burning" sums up his opinion about life and urges one to come out of one’s melancholy and “give light” to one’s surroundings.
Widely regarded as one of the most important psychoanalysts of the 20th century, Erich Fromm was critical of many of Freud’s ideas including the Oedipus complex, and believed that society and culture also played a significant role in individual human development. He believed life was a contradiction since humans were both part of nature and separate from it . From this conflict arise......

...Criminologist and forensic psychologists share many similarities although they have a few differences. This essay will attempt to explain these similarities and differences. Criminology is the scientific study of crime and criminals whereas forensic psychology is the interaction of the study of psychology and the law, it is also a branch of applied psychology which is concerned with the collection, examination and presentation of evidence for judicial purposes (Haward, 1953) furthermore they hold a doctorate degree in a field of psychology.
The role of a criminologist is to investigate a variety of reasons to why criminals commit crimes. In order to investigate how these crimes are committed, they must consider psychological and social factors furthermore consider if any biological situations could have led the criminal to commit the crime. The role of a forensic psychologist is to provide the legal system with sound psychological information from a sound research base (Grisso, 1987). A forensic psychologist role is similar to a criminologist role to an extent that they also work with prisoners and offenders moreover they also apply the psychological theory to criminal behaviour to figure out what makes criminals commit these crimes. The premium goal of a forensic psychologist is to

...Unexplored psychologists or psychiatrists
Herbert "Harry" Stack Sullivan
Herbert "Harry" Stack Sullivan (February 21, 1892, Norwich, New York – January 14, 1949) was an American Neo-Freudian psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who held that the personality lives in, and has his or her being in, a complex of interpersonal relations.
Work
Along with Clara Thompson, Karen Horney, Erich Fromm, Otto Allen Will, Jr., Erik H. Erikson, and Frieda Fromm-Reichmann, Sullivan laid the groundwork for understanding the individual based on the network of relationships in which he or she is enmeshed. He developed a theory of psychiatry based on interpersonal relationships where cultural forces are largely responsible for mental illnesses. In his words, one must pay attention to the "interactional", not the "intrapsychic". This search for satisfaction via personal involvement with others led Sullivan to characterize loneliness as the most painful of human experiences. He also extended the Freudian psychoanalysis to the treatment of patients with severe mental disorders, particularly schizophrenia.
Besides making the first mention of the significant other in psychological literature, Sullivan developed the Self System, a configuration of the personality traits developed in childhood and reinforced by positive affirmation and the security operations developed in childhood to avoid anxiety and threats to self-esteem. Sullivan further defined the Self System as a steering mechanism toward a......
